The pronouns are right there in his name. And he was obviously referring to Kamala’s promise to keep arming the genocidal zionist entity so it can continue its genocide against the Palestinian people.

That was Sisko, in “For the Cause”

Star Trek should absolutely be gatekept from conservatives.

When the whole Cerritos crew was having an orgy in 2x08 (in a holodeck sim, but then you cited holodecks sims first) Billups was sitting there in the nude reading happily on his own.

I took his mother’s choice of who to send to him as more evidence of her trying anything and everything (other than just accepting his asexuality) than knowing his actual interests.

Also, aromantic and asexual are different things and do not necessarily go together, so showing romantic interest does not necessarily disprove asexuality.

Right. The only thing missing from this analysis, I think, is that it’s less about his desire to be a Starfleet engineer than his asexuality. I think if his mom would just stop trying to trick him into doing the weird sex ritual he’d be happy playing with dragonbreath instead of warp plasma.

Hysperia is an elaborate LARP and has no actual power over Billups beyond familial and social pressure.

Dictatorship, socialist, communist, liberal, rights, private property

Really pretty much all of the relevant terms here

Well yes, but more broadly because you keep using words without knowing what they mean

You literally just don’t know what you’re talking about

No, the Federation has personal property, not private property.

Yes, obviously. The Federation is a postscarcity socialist society

Try Pop OS instead, it works great with touch and pen input on my tablet laptop.

The mirror universe section 31 stuff was THE reason I stopped watching Discovery. I disliked it in season 1 but thought it was wrapped up well enough at the end of the season. Then Georgiou showed back up in season 2 and I just completely gave up on the show.

Hopefully we’ll get more of these characters just not as lower deckers anymore.

I literally cannot imagine a less appealing Star Trek than this.

To engage a bit less glibly: Capitalism is very bad, private property (as distinct from personal property) is very bad, and intellectual property is an especially nonsensical form of private property which urgently needs to be destroyed. All software should be Free in the FSF Four Freedoms sense.
